You say I never pay attention
What makes you think i look the other way
You let me be the judge
I dont believe what they say
Your name came up in conversation yesterday
My best bet was to feign indifference
Youve got an awful reputation by the way
The table made a joke at your expense
Didnt believe a word
I dont believe what they say
It smacked of jealousy
I now its only notoriety
My reputation might precede me baby
Forget the rumours and the hearsay
You think i never pay attention to you
I guess you think i look the other way
I dont care what youve heard
Why dyou believe what they say
Ill come to your defence
You know its only notoriety
To hell with our outrageous fortune baby
Weve got a sea of troubles in our sights
We dont need recklessness or caution
To catch the gossip-mongers dead to rights
Let them all speculate
They aint got a clue anyway
Just use your common sense
You know its only notoriety
Hear no evil and speak no evil
See no evil lest it come your way
